[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 504197, member: 12570"] This was my take: The [URL="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-slang.htm"][U][COLOR=#000080]slang[/COLOR][/U][/URL] term “one trick pony” is used to refer to something which can only be used for one very specific application. The term is also used to describe people; for example, a chef who can only produce one really good dish might be known as a one trick pony. The term is generally used in a disparaging way, since it suggests a lack of flexibility and an inability to work outside very specific parameters. Most people try to avoid creating or becoming a one trick pony for this very reason. [/QUOTE]
